Dear James,

The University has carried out an initial assessment and in order for us to deal with your request we require you to provide some additional details specifically, your full name. Without this information, your request does not meet the criteria for a valid request for information set out in Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and is therefore refused.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Dear Mr Davenport,

We have completed the compilation of information in response to your request.

We can confirm that we do hold some of the information of the description specified in your request and this information, where it is not exempt, is provided below and attached.

As you can see, exact counts of four or less and the results of the enrolled students have been withheld because these are personal data of third parties or, if linked with other personal identifiers in the public domain, would be likely to become personal data. This information has been withheld under section 40(2) of the FOIA by virtue of s40 (3)(a)(i).

Section 40(2) of the FOIA allows a public authority to withhold information under the FOIA where (i) the requested information is personal data relating to someone other than the requester and (ii) its disclosure would breach any of the data protection principles. In this case we believe that the requested information could relate to and identify individual applicants and would be considered as their personal data. The disclosure of this personal data would not be within the reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned and it would be unfair to do so; this therefore breaches the first data protection principle.

It is for these reasons that this information is exempt under section 40(2) of the Act.

You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for example by publishing or issuing copies to the public, will require the permission of the copyright owner.

If you are unhappy with our response to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, please email [email address]. Emails should include the words ‘Internal Review’ in the subject and be marked For the Attention of the Vice Provost Operations, alternatively you should write to:

Vice Provost Operations
University College London
1-19 Torrington Place
London WC1E 7HB

Please note, complaints and requests for internal review received more than two months after the initial decision will not be handled.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner at the address given below. You should do this within two months of our final decision.

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact me using the details provided in this letter and including the request reference number.
